Type of Personal Bots

SmartBots supports two kinds of personal bots:

Standard bot
Model bot

The major difference is that Model bots are not able to send invitations, group notices or IMs. Model bots are intended to be used as models or mannequins only.

Changing the bot type

Your Second Life bot type can be changed by opening the bot settings page(click here for details). Your bot's subscription time will be adjusted automatically.

If your Standard bot already has groups listed with SmartBots, you won't be able to switch it to a Model bot (the groups need to be deleted first).
